The food is delicious. It's fresh, full of flavor and very satisfying. The Okra, briyani and goat curry were our favorites. The chicken skewers were okay. They were too lemony for my test and a but soft. I wish they were cooked a little longer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is simple and cozy. Decorations aren't the focus here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was fast and friendly. The food is delicious but pricey, very pricey. read more

3.5 stars We had dinner here after a Costco trip nearby. Karahi Adda serves Pakistani food. The menu isn't very large. It has the standard biryanis, curries/karahis, and kebabs. Prices are on the high side and there is a mandatory 18% dine in tip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a bit more upscale than the typical Pakistani restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a lime soda, which was housemade but too sweet. I could feel granules of sugar. The aloo chaat was boring and flavorless. Potatoes could be softer. The goat biryani is enoughfor 3 servings and comes out in a huge bowl. The meat was very good and tender but the flavoring/sauce was a bit too spicy and salty. This unfortunately upsetted my stomach. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A modern Pakistani restaurant in Westbury.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I saw the pics of the Fried Coconut ice cream and I had to go check it out. Ambiance : modern decor dining room. Friendly staff. Food: we ordered: Chicken Drumsticks - fried chicken drumsticks with r the meat pushed up like a lollipop. Crunchy crust, very well seasoned meat. 4/5 Chicken Tikka Kebabs - beautiful presentation. Well seasoned but a little dry. 4/5 Karahi Biryanis Goat - a rice dish with goat. A very hearty comfort food. Large portion size to feed 2-3 people. 3/5 Fries coconut Ice Cream - similar concept to Fried Ice Cream, but with a fried coconut batter crust. If you like coconut, then this is a must try. 5/5 read more

Quick synopsis of my recent visit to Karahi Adda: 1. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good Service and Ambience 3.5/5[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 2, Ordered the following: Chef Special Baby Goat - Good balance of spice, oil and flavors. Meat was slightly chewy, definitely not baby goat. 3/5 Karahi Bhindi: slightly oily but delicious 4/5 Chicken Biryani: Not a biryani (think Dum) by any stretch of imagination. More like rice on Karahi chicken and mixed together. 2/5 Mixed Breads (Naan, Onion Kulcha and Garlic Naan): Good accompaniment to the entrées. 3/5 Lime Soda: Refreshing 4/5 3. They add service charge to the tab, which is ok considering good service. Hope they are sharing that along the staff. Overall above average food, which is consistent with the quality of South Asian restaurants on Long Island. Maybe another trip in the future, but as of now there is no compelling craving to go back to try anything at this place. read more

The food at Karahi Adda is undeniably good, but the surprise 20% gratuity for just two people left a bad taste in my mouth. This kind of charge is usually for larger groups, parties of six or more and it wasn't posted anywhere on the menu or in the restaurant. It felt sneaky and dishonest. I won't be coming back until they're upfront about their prices and stop trying to pull fast ones on customers. I asked the waiter about it and he didn't know what to say. Do better management! read more

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I walked into a really cute restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was served by 2 really great servers. I started with the lime soda which was a little salty but learned that was how it's served. For my meal I had several items: Allo Channa Chaat Chicken cheesr sliders Green Chili tikka kebab Pani Puri Garlic naan chicken drumstick Tandoori chicken white chicken karahi Paneer tikka Shrimp Karahi All the food was very good and seasoned very well! I don't have a dish I didn't like. I really enjoyed my experience all in all! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Laid back casual restaurant with good service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food here is absolutely outstanding. We were a party of five, so we got to try quite a bit, and everything was made to perfection For appetizers we shared the Pani puri Twisted potato Chicken Tikka Tandoori Shrimp For the main course we shared the Baby goat Karahi Baby chicken karahi read more

We've been meaning to try this place and finally had an opportunity to indulge. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as you walk in you're immediately hit the with amazing smell of cumin and the tandoori spices of Pakistan. I immediately started salivating, it was intoxicating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You know the food is gonna be good when you can smell it right when you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It took a minute to understand the menu and decide on what we were trying. Thankfully our waitress was able to guide us through the menu and we made sure to order enough to share and be satisfied. We started with the beef kebabs which were hand formed and very tender. The spice was mild yet flavorful with a bit of heat at the end. Goes perfect with the yogurt sauce and the garlic naan. Service was fast and as soon as the dish was ready it was brought to our table. Shortly after taking the first bite of the beef kebabs, the lamb chops were brought to our table smelling amazing and sizzling hot. Surprisingly we got an extra one because we planned to share, thanks to the waitress and chef/ restaurant that we didn't have to fight over the extra . That lamb chops was very satisfying and the char on the meat/ bone was perfect. You really get to enjoy both the tender meat and the crispy part off the bone. Pairs really well with the mint sauce, I could eat this all day. Finally, we got a serving of the chicken karahi and it was served in a big metal pot that was opened right in front of your table. The presentation was perfect because you get to smell those amazing spices in the dish and it really enhances the flavors. The only drawback, and it's minor, is the amount of bones in the chicken. I just wanted to shovel it all in with the garlic naan but I had to slow down and savor each morsel. Overall, the flavors were similar to Indian food but unique in that there is different heat elements. The spices used really complement the dishes we had and it was a very satisfying dinner. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. It's definitely worth the drive out and you won't be disappointed with the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It gets pretty crowded after 5 on the weekends so make sure to come early to get a seat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Karahi Adda - Chicken momo and mango lassi - Pakistani Near Me - Westbury, New York

One the restaurant messed my order. Didn't bring in what we ordered and then to our shock added 20% tip without giving an option of choosing our own % of tip. Later the restaurant also charged us $6 for credit card processing fee. This restaurant is a rip off. Why would anyone charge guests 20% gratuity? Why can't the guest chose their own gratuity without asking the restaurant to change the total amount? Same food at Kebabjee Hicksville is cheaper and no mandatory 20% tip read more

Karahi Adda truly lives up to its name as the House of Spice! For apps we ordered paani puri. They come with 8 pieces but happy to see they added an extra for our group of three. We ordered the beef kebab, baby chicken karahi (chef's special), chicken malai boti, butter naan, garlic naan, and mango lassis, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The chef's special was definitely one of the best choices we made--packed with rich, bold flavors. The chicken karahi was incredibly tender/flavorful, and the spices were just perfect. The butter naan was flaky and well-buttered, and the chicken malai boti melted in our mouths. It was so soft and juicy. The garlic naan was fresh and paired perfectly with the dishes. And the mango lassi? The perfect sweet and refreshing touch to the meal! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was lively, and even though the restaurant was packed when we arrived for dinner on a Tuesday night, the service was still attentive and efficient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only downside was that they put water bottles on our table and we didn't ask for water and charged us for it. Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving authentic and flavorful Pakistani cuisine! Will definitely be coming back. read more

Located in the heart of Long Island , they definitely brought out the flavors of Pakistan to NY. Had the food here today , I think by far the best Pakistani food I've had in New York. They had mastered the KARAHI's. We started off by trying the Kababs and Tikkas . After we tried the Goat and Chicken Karahi which was the Chefs Special paired with Naans. Cleansed the taste buds with friend coconut ice-cream and rasmalai. Ambiance- Nice and Casual Service- 10/10 Parking in the Rear Good for Large Groups Reservation are not always Needed Owner/Chef is hands on and is very passionate on his cuisine. read more

Food: Twisted Potato and chicken tikka (app) Chef's special Karahi chicken biryani, chef's special baby goat Karahi, tandoori roti, and plain Nan (entrees) Fried Ice Cream and Rasmali (dessert). All the food came out right away and perfect portion sizes. Came here with the husband and my extremely picky desi mother who rarely eats our food at restaurants because we can just make everything at home. She loved everything and we're def coming back here with our friends and family. Service: Incredible! We were served by the owner/head chef who was warm, welcoming, and passionate about his food and business. The rest of the staff was also kind and accommodating. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Trendy with culture[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

"This review is for an extremely bad service and was initially posted in Urdu language but the restaurant owner (Imran) got scared and got that removed from YELP! Here you go again... The guy named Imran at the front desk was incredibly rude. I was accompanied by my 3 kids, wife and a 75 year elderly mother. When I asked him for a chair for my old lady while waiting, he rudely refused. When I asked if I could park my car in the front so she can sit in the car, he said, 'Why don't you just bring your car inside my restaurant?' Well, we did wait but after standing outside for quite a while, when I asked about our turn, he arrogantly said, 'Please stand outside and keep waiting.' This rudeness was also ignored. The menu was limited, and whenever I inquired about an item, I was told, 'It's not available today' or 'It might not suit your taste.' It seemed they lacked confidence. In simpler terms, only a few dishes were highlighted, implying that we should order from those. The karahi had excessive chilies, the chicken cheese skewers were quite bland. However, the biryani served in the karahi was considerably better. The naan were served cold and despite repeatedly asking for paper napkins, only three or four were provided, despite our group of six. When it was time to pay the bill, I encountered the typical desi Pakistani cheapskate small-heartedness. This crooked guy (Imran) included an 18% tip in the bill, and an additional 4% charge for paying by credit card, which is explicitly illegal. They think they can get away with this short-sightedness, but this shortsighted Pakistani community doesn't refrain from showing their true colors. They don't build a customer base; instead, they think they can just loot them in one shot. I can confidently say that if a restaurant cannot provide good service and pleasant hospitality, they'll soon lose their customers. When I mentioned that it's the customer's choice whether to give a tip or not, the host named Imran said, 'Since Desi people don't tip, we rightfully claim it ourselves.' Hey! What kind of extraction is this? No service, no taste, no hospitality... and yet, you demand a tip. All prospective customers are cautioned about this restaurant's bad-mannered and bad-taste, chili-infested food, and warned to steer away of these deceitful cheaters who create a cloud of coal smoke. It's truly regrettable that I wasted my time, money, and appetite traveling all the way from Maryland to such a useless shitty place." read more

Went here again and the food has gotten even better. Aloo channa chaat now has more sauces and flavor than before. They give you them on the side. I do wish that the potatoes were cut in smaller pieces and there was more papri on top, but that's my only critique. We also got the beef kebab, they were good, not mind blowing, but decent. The stars of the show were the malai karahi and special karahi, we got them in chicken. Full of flavor, perfect amount of spicy, and the perfect amount of gravy. You can also tell they use good quality chicken, the pieces were small, not huge gmo chickens that a lot of places resort too. And the naan were soo crispy but fluffy at the same time, I could have them by themselves. I also liked the mango lassi, it wasn't too tart like some places have it, it was the perfect balance of creaminess too. read more

5 star kebabs and karahis! Probably the best Pakistani place in New York. We got the beef kabab, the chicken malai kabab, the chicken karahi and everything was EXCEPTIONAL. The naans were the best ever, light and airy like no other. Clean and new interiors, we got seated right away and servers were quick and efficient. The mango lassi and lemon lime soda was just the right finish. There was only 2 of us, so I was a bit surprised to see that the bill already added service change to the total but there was also another line to write in tip, which is confusing because we would have tipped twice by mistake if we hadn't taken a closer look. Overall amazing food, you should absolutely come by. read more

Love having a halal Pakistani spot that is upscale! I don't mind the 18% gratuity or $2 water bottles. The venue has nice aesthetics and is a cozy spot on a block of other food venues. LOVED the baby goat karahi and fresh buttery naan. The karahi steel bowl is super hot and they remove the charcoal when they serve, and use wicker basket coasters which adds to the aesthetic. The mango lassi was very well blended smooth and tarte and sweet together. The limka soda is perfect combo since the meal is a little buttery and rich. I'm a Pakistani American and I was intrigued by the ras malai. It's creamy and sweet and has the fragrance and toppings of ras malai, but it tasted like a large rasagulla ball covered in rich cream, and not so much just sweet milk. A show stopper for sure, but felt a little like it deserves a title change. Can't wait to come back for the gajjar halwa and biryani! read more

Very expensive given the quality and quantity of the food. Worst part they served aloo Channa chat with cold potatoes. COLD ! Their chicken lollipop was salty with no flavor. Garlic naan tasted like plain naan, even the tandoori legs had noooooo flavor. Idk how this is a Pakistani place with no chai! Their prices are outrageous! Their biriyani is $34 for one serving. And they charge for gratuity off the bat. There are way better places to eat in the vicinity. This places was a disappointment and not worth the calories. read more

All food was A++. If you're thinking about it. Stop reading and go. The food is that delicious. I had the mango lassi which was a creamy refresher. Then our meal started with the Pani puri and Allo Chana chat. The chana/chickpeas mixture in both these dishes was a lovely blend if spices, onions, tomatoes. The puris were crisp. Next we had chicken malai boti. The chicken was moist, tender and again perfectly spiced. It makes me want to try their other kebabs. The garlic and butter Naan were fluffy and soft. They say the chicken briyani is for 2-3people but truly the portion could probably serve 5 people. However, this depends on any other dishes you get. We had leftover and it was just as good the following day. The rice wasn't dry, had a good amount of chicken chunks in it and again perfectly spiced. Are you seeing a them here? This restaurant knows how to season their dishes. Now for the star of the meal.. the baby goat Karahi, the sauce was *chef's kiss* and the meat itself was so tender and you guessed it... perfectly spiced!! read more

Absolutely delicious food. So far the best Pakistani restaurant I have tried in NYC and nobody paid me to say thatThe flavors are out of the world . I still cannot get over the taste. Being a Delhite my expectation for MOMOS is pretty high but I was surprised to taste such perfect momos at Pakistani restaurant. Their kebabs were delectable, very delicate, chicken karahi extremely bold bursting with flavors and biryani so aromatic just on point. Go there and trust me you will be in for a treat. read more

Trust me when I say this that if there was a way to give this establishment a 100 out of a 100 I would definitely do so. Karahi Adda brings you on a journey to the motherland one Karahi at a time. After months of talking and speaking highly about this restaurant, my cousins and I decided on stopping by for a birthday dinner. First off let me say that the staff were very friendly and welcoming. There was 8 of us tonight and our order was massive! But yet, our food was brought out hot, fresh and perfectly prepared to our liking and they did not disappoint at all. We started off with the chicken mommas, the chicken drumsticks, the malai chicken boti, lamb chops which were seasoned perfectly and plentiful and the tandoori shrimp, which packed some heat! When I tell you that I couldn't resist on trying EVERYTHING out and for it to be piping hot and flavorful! Truly amazing! Packed with the perfect amount of heat, our starters were definitely phenomenal. Then for our MAIN DISHES, we ordered the Beef keema, the charsi chicken, the paneer Karahi, the chicken bryani and allll served with their signature garlic and butter naan! If you're reading this and your mouth isn't watering up, there is something wrong haha! Our Karahis are all made to order and they are VERY generous with their spices and the gravy that it is served with! Juicy chicken fixed with authentic south Asian spices, tasted better than my moms cooking haha! Sorry mom! Karahi Adda definitely gets multiple multiple thumbs up from my experience tonight and Inshallah I will be returning again and again. I would also like to give a big Thank you to Ali, for his fantastic hospitality and for a wonderful birthday evening. Everything was perfectly prepared and the ambiance of the spices and this feeling that you're back home really made it all worth it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is tiny and overly crowded and so loud[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but that's not the worst. The worst thing is the uncooked chicken. We ordered few dishes and 2 of them were chicken. The chicken kabab was literally raw and the chicken curry or what they called the chef's special was half cooked. For the high prices they charge, you expect your food to be cooked. We all got sick the next day even though we only each had a bit or two of the food. The service was ok and the staff were friendly but never again. Uncooked chicken can be deadly! read more

We went on a Saturday evening and the wait was about 45 minutes. It was busy! Service was excellent. Staff was patient and very accommodating. Decent decor and casual vibe. Food, however, did not meet the expectations. We tried the chicken, beef, goat karahi, Biriyani, chicken cheese kabob, momos, mango lassi and garlic naan. The only thing out of them I would actually recommend is the chicken cheese kabob. Everything else was below par. Also, what's with the complimentary salad? It was a group of 6 adults and 3 kids -- we got 2 tiny plates of salad. I get it, it's complimentary but it would be better if they actually don't serve it at all. It was awkward to say the least. Overall, it's decent for the location. read more
